Long Dead to rights Poems

Jeremiah did not hesitate,
he drew one up into his sights.
His Kentucky fired in dawn’s glow
caught a redcoat, dead-to-rights.

The others charged, sabers drawn,
so Jerermiah fled into the near forest.
Hiding and quickly reloading his gun,
the British charged...

IV.
Their faces looked shocked when they saw the flames,
looking at each other for someone to blame,
then Sol cleared his throat, and they look to him,
their leader stepped out, his eyes cold and dim.

Dueling Americans
love drawing blood from a distance
Crossing swords with their dogma guns ... 
a test of mettle:
Who will bow first
to the pressure building in their lungs
Bipedal zip-lip back-to-back walkers,
bivalve mollusk closed-minded talkers
Fifty paces then turn......

Several moons ago, I caught someone 
             Dead to rights, without him noticing

I was moving down an access trail
in my favorite Pennsylvania game land,
heading towards and open meadow,
near which I’d set up a tree stand.

Then came a rustling from some bushes thick,
a buck shot out at lightning...

You made Death grumble, boy
He not pleased that a little squirt like you got away
He had you choking on your mama's apron strings,
with that foolhardy, playful dare you made
Said you was gonna cross Bim Argut's...

a single glance from God blinds a billion evil eyes
a single glance from God binds and breaks a billion lies
demons doomed to die where angels...like flames of fire...learn to fly
down in the depths and up...

Such peaceful ways are now exhausted and on the rise. Superpowers cart off all the cries. As the once born freedom fighters retaliate with hard spoken, wisely chosen opinionated confession. The mind creeper ex Libertine...

I hear the roar of chariots
rumbling throughout the night
awakened from a sleep so deep
what I see gives me such fright
 
The weapons aimed at mankind
with symbols formed of colored lights
no human stands within their scope

We had him dead to rights, Herman and I.
On his lips was a smear of blueberry pie.
That bulldog is guilty as sin, we both agreed.
Behind his back, while he carefully peed.

Let’s get him to interrogation,...

'Dead to Rights!'
'Dead to rights' says I love you, no 'deed' makes you mine!
Love's a gift born each second, there's no valentine,
no shared thought (need that's met) . There's no poem to write
or a dream...

Hello love
Thanks so much
For the new shoes
You've got me
Walkin' in
You know they say you can't 
Judge a person
Til you've walked a mile
In theirs
My new ones fit just fine
Along with my new life
You have made me...

If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I stand in a stance and glance at him with a frown
and knock him down to the ground while he turned around
How I'd love love love
To...

A seasoned cat burglar 
climbs through 
the kitchen window;
his eyes scanning 
left, right, front, and back...
"Good, no one's home,"

going from room to room,
rummaging through drawers 
and stuffing knick...
